Three sisters from Carlow are seriously injured after their car collides with another vehicle on the M9 motorway near Moone, Co Kildare, during Sunday’s crash. Two of the sisters, Niamh and Alma Kinsella, are described as fighting for their lives in hospital, while their sister, Ella Hendricken, is also reported to be in serious condition.

Both outlets report that the crash is linked to a vehicle travelling the wrong way on the motorway. The Irish Mirror states that the crash claims five lives, adding that the sisters’ injuries are catastrophic. The other Mirror item similarly focuses on the sisters’ critical and serious conditions, without repeating all details about the total number of fatalities. The reports therefore align on the wrong-way element and the sisters’ condition, but differ in emphasis and level of detail on the broader crash outcomes.

Authorities have not been detailed in the provided excerpts, and the accounts do not specify investigative findings beyond the wrong-way driving claim.
